Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lb Chicken fryers
3 Parsley sprigs
3 Dill weed sprigs
3 Carrots -- sliced
2 Yellow onions -- quartered
2 Parsnips -- * sliced
2 tb Fresh parsley -- chopped
1/2 ts Black pepper

~-- Dumplings: ---- 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon
poultry seasoning -- or sage 1/3 cup fresh parsley 1/2
teaspoon black pepper 1 large egg -- beaten 1/2 cup
: milk 1/4 teaspoon salt -- optional

* The use of sliced parsnips is optional.

1. Tie parsley and dill springs with thread. Cut the
chicken into serving-sized pieces. Put the chicken and
its giblets, discarding the liver, into very large
heavy pot. Add the carrots, onions, parsnips (if
using), pepper, chopped parsley or dill and the tied
sprigs. Add enough water to cover all ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60
minutes or until chicken is tender. Skim off the fat
and foam as it rises to surface. 2. When the chicken
is done, remove and discard the parsley and dill
sprigs. Using a slotted spoon, place the chicken and
vegetables into a bowl and keep warm in an oven that
has been slightly heated then heat turned off. 3.
DUMPLINGS: Place the flour into a large bowl. In
another bowl, blend together the beaten egg, 1/3 cup
chopped parsley, poultry or dried sage, pepper and
milk. Mix well and refrigerate batter until ready to
use. 4. Bring the broth to a boil and lower heat to
keep at a slow boil. Drop the batter by rounded
teaspoons into the broth. COVER tightly and simmer for
15 minutes. Do not remove lid during this time. 5.
Remove dumplings with slotted spoon and add them to
the chicken and vegetables. Spoon some of the broth
over all and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Serve immediately with the broth placed into cups for
each serving.
